Examples of pests include, for example, Ixodes spp., Boophilus spp. (e.g. Boophilus microplus), Amblyomma spp., Hyalomma spp., Rhipicephalus spp. (e.g. Rhipicephalus appendiculatus), Haemaphysalis spp., dermacentor spp., Ornithodoros spp. (e.g. Ornithodoros moubata), Dermahyssus gallinae, Sarcoptes spp. (e.g. Sarcoptes scabiei), Psoroptes spp., Chorioptes spp., Demodex spp., Eutrombicula spp., Aedes spp., Anopheles spp., Culex spp, Culicodes spp, Musca spp., Hypoderma spp., Gasterophilus spp., Haematobia spp, Tabanus spp, Simulium spp., Triatoma spp., Phthiraptera (e.g. Damalinia spp., Linognathus spp., Haematopinus spp), Ctenocephalides spp. Xenosylla spp), monomorium pharaonis and Nematoda (for example, Trichostrongylus (e.g. Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, Trichostrongylus axei, Trichostrongylus colubriformis), Trichinella (e.g. Trichinella spiralis), Haemonchus contortus, Nematodirus (e.g. Nematodirus battus), Ostertagia circumcincta, Cooperia spp., Hymenolepis nana) and the like.

The agricultural chemical composition containing the Compound (I) of the present invention or a salt thereof has a superior pesticidal activity and can be used as an extremely lower toxic, therefore safe and excellent agricultural chemical composition (pesticide). And the agricultural chemical composition of the present invention can be used in a manner similar to a conventional agricultural chemical composition and consequently can yield very substantial benefits compared to existing lines. The arising above-mentioned pests (insect pests etc.) can be exterminated by spraying the agricultural chemical composition of the present invention on paddy, field, orchard, non-tillage farm, house and the like by a known method per se and bringing the pests into contact with the composition or feeding the pests. As an alternative mode, for example, the arthropod and parasite living with said vertebrates can be exterminated by administrating the agricultural chemical composition of the present invention to inside (internal parts of the body) or outside (body surface) of the above-mentioned vertebrates. In addition, sanitary pests arising from the excrement of the animal can be exterminated by feeding a livestock animal.

More specifically, for example, the agricultural chemical composition of the present invention can be used to the targeting pests by a method such as treatment to seed, treatment to nursery box, treatment to planting holes, soil-mixing treatment, spraying to stalks and leaves, ULV spray, immersion treatment, application, dust coating, fertilizer-mixing treatment, injection to tree trunk, poison bait, smoking, affusion, subaqueous application for paddy and the like. The amount of application can be changed within a wide range depending on the application time, application place, application method and the like, and it is desirable to apply so that the active ingredient (Compound (I) or a salt thereof) per hectare comes generally to about 0.3 g to 3,000 g, preferably about 50 g to 1,000 g. When the agricultural chemical composition of the present invention is a wettable powder, it may be diluted with water to use so that the final concentration of active ingredient comes to the range of about 0.1 to 1,000 ppm, preferably about 10 to 500 ppm. Furthermore, recently advances have been made in the technologies of genetically-modified crops (a herbicide resistant crop, a pest resistant crop integrated a gene producing pest-control proteins, a disease resistant crop integrated a gene producing substances resistant to diseases, a flavor-improved crop, a storage stability-improved crop, a yield-improved crop, etc.), insect pheromone (a disrupting agent of communication of Tortricidae, Mamestra brassicae, etc.) and IPM (integrated pests management) using a counterpest insect. The agricultural, chemical composition of the present invention can be used together with these technologies or can be used by systematizing with them.

3-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole

The mixture of 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzamide (4.00 g, 23.0 mmol) and N,N-dimethylacetamide dimethylacetal (13 ml) was stirred under reflux with heating for 1 hour. The residue obtained by concentration under reduced pressure was washed with petroleum ether to give yellow crystals (5.66 g). The resulting crystals were suspended in toluene (40 ml), and hydrazine hydrate (2.23 ml, 46 mmol) was added thereto, then the solution was refluxed with heating for 4 hours. To the reaction mixture was added ice-water (40 ml), and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration. The obtained crystals were recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give 3-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole (1.80 g, 8.51 mmol, 37%) as colorless crystals.

The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, and washed with acetone. The filtrate and washings were combined and concentrated, and the resulting residue was purified by subjecting to silica gel column chromatography (hexane ethyl acetate=3:2) to give 0.73 g (1.6 mmol, 94%) of 1-[4-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yloxymethyl]phenyl]-4-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-methylimidazole as colorless crystals.

The reaction solution was stirred for 20 minutes and then was added dropwise 2.50 g (9.63 mmol) of 3-chloro-2-methanesulfonyl-5-trifluoromethylpyridine dissolved in DMF (10 ml). Then the resulting solution was stirred for 6 hours at room temperature, and thereto was added 80 ml of ice-water, 80 ml of ethyl acetate and 50 ml of saturated brine. The ethyl acetate layer was separated, and water layer was extracted with 50 ml of ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layers were combined, and washed with two 50 ml of saturated brine. The resulting ethyl acetate layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled away to give 6.34 g of yellow oil. A pale yellow crystal was obtained by purifying with silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:3). The crystal was washed with hexane to give 3.96 g (7.66 mmol, 80%) of 5-chloro-3-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-1-[4-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridin-2-yloxymethyl)phenyl]pyrazole as yellow crystal.

Test Example

1) insecticidal effect for Plutella xylostella

One 7 to 8-leave stage foliage leaf of cabbage was cut off and dipped in a pesticidal solution for a few seconds, which was prepared by dissolving 5 mg of test compound (represented by the compound Nos. in the above Examples) in 0.5 ml of acetone containing Tween 20 (trade name) and then diluting it to the prescribed concentration (100 ppm) with Dain water diluted 5000-fold. After drying the pesticidal solution, the leaf was put into an ice cream cup (180 ml), and ten second-instar larvae of Plutella xylostella were set free. The cup was left in a temperature-controlled breeding room (24° C.). On the fifth day after, the number of surviving Plutella xylostella was examined. The rate of dead pests was calculated by the following formula, and the result was shown in table 39. rate of dead pests (%)=(number of dead pests/number of test pests)×100 TABLE 39 Rate of Compound No. dead pests (%) T-3 100 T-5 95 T-9 100 T-12 100 T-17 100 T-18 100 T-20 100 T-21 100 T-28 100 T-30 100 T-32 100 T-40 95 T-43 100 T-46 100 T-47 100 T-48 100 T-52 100 T-56 100 T-66 95 T-74 100 T-78 100 T-88 95 T-106 100 T-107 100 T-120 100 T-133 95 T-267 100 P-21 100 P-43 100 P-46 100

2) acaricidal effect for Tetranychus urticae

Ten female imagoes Tetranychus urticae were set free on a string bean wherein first leaves had just developed. On the following day, the pesticidal solution, which was prepared by dissolving 5 mg of test compound (represented by the compound Nos. in the above Examples) in 0.5 ml of acetone containing Tween 20 (trade name) and then diluting it to the prescribed concentration (500 ppm) with Dain water diluted 5000-fold, was sprayed with spray gun in the amounts wherein the pesticidal solution dripped. The string bean was left in a temperature-controlled breeding room (25° C.). On the second and seventh day after treatment, the number of surviving Tetranychus urticae was examined. The rate of decrease was calculated by the following formula, and the result was shown in table 40. rate of decrease (%)=(1−(S ₂/(5.59×(10+(10+S ₁)/2+S ₁))))×100
